Transcribed Image Text:Pump delivers 0.05 m/s flow of 40°C water, and the intake pipe L = 4m & D = 20 cm. The pump intake is located 10 m above the water surface level in the
reservoir. How much lowering of the pump elevation will avoid the cavitation.
Given: f= 0.018, Ke = 0.1, K, = 0.2
10 m
Par = 101.3 kPa abs
YH.0x 40°c = 9.732 kN/m³
Pvap at 40°C
= 7.38 kPa abs
= 7.38-101.3 = -93.92 kPa gage
O Lowering of the pump needed to avoid cavitation = 7.44 m
O Lowering of the pump needed to avoid cavitation = 9.65 m
O Lowering of the pump needed to avoid cavitation = 0.56 m
O None of the answers are correct.
